This mug is made by Maurizio in Altomonte, with clay and a kick wheel. Every decoration is hand-painted before firing. No two pieces are the same: each mug is one of a kind, made in limited numbers.
 
 
 
Altomonte is an inland village in the province of Cosenza, among the mountains of Calabria. It has a long history, an old town overlooking the valley, and a ceramics tradition Maurizio has carried on for years in his workshop. The decorations on the Limited Edition mugs come from there: coats of arms, local symbols, details born from that history and that land.
 
 
 
The clay has a distinctive colour and texture. It's fired in the workshop kiln. The result is a mug that feels different in your hand from any other: solid, warm, present.
 
 
 
Use it for coffee, tea or breakfast. Or just keep it on display, because it's a beautiful piece to look at.
 
An object from a specific place. And it shows.
